It has been released to CentOS-3 on Oct 7th, in the updates repository. The other maintainers have their own schedule/priorities.

<offensive mode> Making CentOS a reality is not our daily job/duty, remember? </offensive>

The guys from X/OS have released it for 5.0 along with the other updates (on Oct. 9).

Are the "enhancements"... "not important" as long as they're not "security updates"?

Speaking for CentOS-3, the enhancements used to go to the fasttrack repo, ie pending updates for the next point release. Since CentOS-3.9 is the last respin, all the RHEA are now in updates.

True, the guys from SL have only released tzdata-2007h in "fastbugs" -- which is something you should not use --, but I am asking in a single place: why?

Ask on the SL mailing list, we can't speak for them!

Ummm. This is from my CentOS 5 /var/log/yum.log: Oct 06 14:30:09 Updated: tzdata.noarch 2007h-1.el5

Your post made me curious about its origin.
